Here there were planes coming and going all the time. There were planes from Capital Airlines, Eastern Airlines, TWA, and others. There was quite a difference in this and Knollwood airport. On the observation platform there were telescopes, and through these the boys got a good view of the Capitol lighted up. After seeing the airport the boys returned to the hotel and went to bed. The hotel rooms had all the luxuries anyone could ask for. There was a radio, fan, and tele phone in each room. After breakfast the next morn ing, the scouts went out to the Washington monument. (Mr. Ken nedy didn’t go. He said he had blisters on his feet as big as golf balls.) The boys rode up to the top of the monument in the ele vator. Roland Bower was brave enough to walk up and down.

After eating dinner at Childs with Mr. Lang, the scouts went out to see the ball game between Cleveland and Washington. Mr. Lang also got the baseball tickets for them. At first the boys didn’t think they would get to see Bob Feller pitch, but Gettle blew up in the sixth inning and he was re lieved by Feller. Cleveland won the game, 2-1. After the game the boys came back to the hotel and checked out, and went to supper at Childs. The boys had good food and service at this restaurant. After supper they sat around on the lawn in front of Commodore. There was a very good view of the Capitol building from this point. At about 11:30 they went over to the Red Circle and had a snack. At 12 o’clock the boys left for home. They arrived home the next morning at 9, after a very pleasant trip.
